Our thoughts go to the families of the deceased and missing, to the many
who got injured, to the countless displaced, many of whom have literally lost everything.

But this is Fiji.

Yes the widespread stoicism in the face of the onrushing onslaught may
have seemed peculiar - but the flip side is that after the event, there
is no drama whatsoever as instead of lamenting and waiting for others to
help, we get up, dust ourselves off and carry on.

Your outpouring of support has been frankly humbling, and we all thank
you for that. No we really don't need anything - but should you want to
make a valuable contribution, please make a donation to the Fiji Red Cross or to the Prime Minister's Disaster Relief and Rehabilitation Fund as right now, those are by far the most effective venues for quickly getting the right help to the affected people.

Thank you very much.

Anyway, we're open for business.

Can't wait to have my first look at Shark Reef that has been battered by
phenomenal seas. We've recently established a shallow nursery for
different endangered Giant Clams, and I'm fearing the worst - but who
knows, we here are resilient.
